10 things actually worth the money- SBIR FOUNDER edition
In this brief advisory video, the speaker lists the ten items they consider worth spending money on for the year, specifically tailored to SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) founders. The list starts with forming a for‑profit U.S. LLC, which is a prerequisite for SBIR eligibility, and continues with practical tools and comforts that support the grant‑writing and development process: a fast, reliable laptop; high‑speed internet; hiring a skilled grant writer; leveraging ChatGPT for drafting; using Quad for project management; employing a reference manager like Zotero; keeping ample coffee on hand; ensuring good food for sustained energy; and finally, celebrating submission success with a bottle of wine. The speaker invites feedback on any missing items.
